Brizuela joined the team as an advance scouting intern in 2009 after graduating from Webber International University with a business management degree, and he quickly moved up Milwaukee's front office ranks. He helped the team re-establish a presence in the Dominican Republic, running a new complex there from '10-12 before moving up to director of Latin America operations and scouting. He will work out of the Brewers' year-round complex in Phoenix, where former farm director Reid Nichols was based. The Brewers' new farm director, Tom Flanagan, works out of the offices at Miller Park. In his new role, Brizuela will have more contact with the Brewers' Minor League coaching staffs, most of which are returning intact for 2016: • The entire coaching staff at Triple-A Colorado Springs is back for a second straight season. The group consists of manager Rick Sweet, pitching coach Fred Dabney and coach Bob Skube. • The Double-A Biloxi Shuckers, who advanced to the Southern League Championship Series in their first year of play, will have a new manager with Carlos Subero's promotion to the Major League staff. Guerrero, who managed 18 seasons in the Minor Leagues before serving two years as Craig Counsell's first-base coach in Milwaukee, will head a staff that includes pitching coach Chris Hook and coach Sandy Guerrero, Mike's older brother. • Joe Ayrault returns for his fifth season as manager of the Class-A Brevard County Manatees with pitching coach David Chavarria and coach Ned Yost IV. New to the staff is another "coach," Edwin Maysonet, who joins the coaching ranks after a 12-year professional playing career that included stints in the Cubs, Astros and Brewers systems. He reached the Majors in 2008 and '09 with the Astros, and he played 30 games for the Brewers in '12. • At Class A Wisconsin, another former Brewer, Matt Erickson, is back as manager for a sixth season. He will oversee pitching coach Gary Lucas, coach Chuckie Caufield and a new addition, Al LeBoeuf, who is moving up from Rookie-level Arizona. LeBoeuf's specialty is hitting instruction. • Rookie-level Helena will have an entirely new staff, led by manager Nestor Corredor, who was promoted from rookie Arizona. Brewers assistant pitching coordinator Mark Dewey will double as Helena's pitching coach, while Liu Rodriguez and Reggie Williams instruct the position players. • There's more double duty at Rookie-level Arizona, where Brewers assistant director of player development Tony Diggs will also manage the Brewers' Arizona League entry and serve as the organization's roving outfield coordinator. Diggs had previously managed the Arizona club from 2008-12, winning a league title in '10. Rolando Valles and Steve Cline will be co-pitching coaches, and former infielder Hainley Statia will serve as coach. Statia just recently retired as a player. • Victor Estevez received a promotion from coach to manager of the Dominican Summer League Brewers in 2016. He is flanked by pitching coach Geraldo Obispo and returning coaches Luis de los Santos and Joan Abreu. Jose Pena will move from manager to coach. http://www.jsonline.com/blogs/sports/365140541.html Mike Guerrero will manage at Class AA Biloxi By Tom Haudricourt of the Journal Sentinel January 13, 2016 Mike Guerrero, who was not retained as the Brewers' first base coach after the 2015 season, will remain in the organization as manager at Class AA Biloxi. He will work there with brother Sandy Guerrero, the Shuckers' hitting coach. The Brewers announced their minor-league staff assignments Wednesday, and in essence Guerrero changed positions with Carlos Subero, who was promoted from manager at Biloxi to first base coach in Milwaukee. Beyond the managerial and coaching assignments, the Brewers announced several changes to the the player development department under new farm director Tom Flanagan. Eduardo Brizuela was promoted to assistant farm director after serving three years as director of Latin America scouting and operations. Brizuela will be based at the Brewers' training complex in Phoenix and head the staff there. In addition to his duties as assistant to the director of player development, Tony Diggs will be the roving outfield coordinator in the minors. Diggs also is moving from manager at rookie Helena to the rookie Arizona club. Here are the complete minor-league assigments: Class AAA Colorado Springs Manager: Rick Sweet Pitching coach: Fred Dabney Coach: Bob Skube Athletic trainer: Aaron Hoback Strength & conditioning specialist: Andrew Emmick Class AA Biloxi Manager: Mike Guerrero Pitching coach: Chris Hook Coach: Sandy Guerrero Athletic trainer: Steve Patera Strength & conditioning specialist: Nate Dine Class A Brevard County Manager: Joe Ayrault Pitching coach: David Chavarria Coach: Ned Yost IV Coach: Edwin Maysonet Athletic trainer: Tommy Craig Strength & conditioning specialist: Jonah Mergen Class A Wisconsin Manager: Matt Erickson Pitching coach: Gary Lucas Coach: Chuckie Caufield Coach: Al Leboeuf Athletic trainer: Jeff Paxson Strength & conditioning coach: Ben Mendelson Rookie Helena Manager: Nestor Corredor Pitching coach: Mark Dewey Coach: Liu Rodriguez Coach: Reggie Williams Athletic trainer: Jeff Bodenhamer Strength & conditioning coach: Alistair Matthews Rookie Arizona Manager: Tony Diggs Pitching coaches: Rolando Valles and Steve Cline Coach: Hainley Statia Athletic trainer: Matt Deal Dominican Summer League Brewers Manager: Victor Estevez Pitching coach: Geraldo Obispo Coach: Luis de los Santos Coach: Joan Abreu Coach: Jose Pena Athletic trainer: Alex Mena Strength & conditioning coach: Sam Hoffman ROVING STAFF Field coordinator & catching instructor: Charlie Greene Pitching coordinator: Rick Tomlin Assistant pitching coordinator: Mark Dewey Hitting coordinator: Jeremy Reed Infield coordinator: Bob Miscik Outfield coordinator: Tony Diggs Maryvale-based staff Assistant farm director: Eduardo Brizuela Athletic training coordinator: Frank Neville Strength & conditioning coordinator: Tim Gifford Physical therapist: Kevin Truitt Coordinator, Arizona complex/video operations: Matt Keris Clubhouse manager: Travis Voss http://www.jsonline.com/sports/brewers/brewers-optimistic-but-realistic-on-2016-ticket-sales-b99650730z1- 365294831.html Brewers optimistic but realistic on 2016 ticket sales By Tom Haudricourt of the Journal Sentinel January 14, 2016 It's easy to sell tickets for the next season after your team has won the World Series. The Kansas City Royals would be happy to vouch for that. On the flip side, it can be challenging to sell tickets after your team experiences a disastrous season that prompts a massive rebuilding plan to be put in place. That's the situation the Milwaukee Brewers find themselves in this winter. Despite that difficult position, the Brewers have been relatively pleased that season-ticket sales for 2016 have dropped only marginally at this point, a nod to their loyal fan base. "Obviously, after a very disappointing 2015 season, we budgeted for a decline in season tickets and a lower renewal rate," said Brewers chief operation officer Rick Schlesinger. "It has been better than what we originally forecast. Right now, we're about 7% behind last year's pace, which isn't bad. "With other teams in similar situations, you're looking at double-digit declines. So, we're satisfied that it's only a marginal decline. We've got a lot of selling season left." The Brewers have sold only full season-ticket plans and partial plans, so that is their only measurement against previous years. Group sales will heat up soon and individual ticket sales begin in February. Putting it mildly, the 2015 season was discouraging for Brewers fans. A 5-17 record in April led to the dismissal of manager Ron Roenicke, who was replaced by Craig Counsell. A sell-off of veteran players began in July, and general manager Doug Melvin stepped aside later in favor of 30-year-old David Stearns, previously an assistant in Houston. The Brewers' 68-94 record was likely the beginning of at least a few lean years to come before a newly rejuvenated farm system produces winning players at the major-league level. And teams never know for sure how fans will respond to long rebuilding plans. Attendance at Miller Park dropped to just over 2.5 million last season as ticket sales dried up after the miserable start. That's a commendable figure for the smallest market in the majors, but it represented a drop of some 500,000 from the record attendance of 3.07 million in 2011, when the Brewers won their only National League Central crown. How much lower home attendance will go in 2016 remains to be seen. The Brewers are more reliant on ticket income than teams in larger media markets, but Schlesinger said early signs are not nearly as grim as might be expected under the circumstances. "Given the season we had, the fact we're only seeing a 7% decline at this point is heartening," he said. "We'll be behind last year in total tickets sold on opening day, but I think we have a chance to make up some ground." The Brewers do not announce their season-ticket base from year to year, but it was believed to have been between 13,000 and 15,000 in 2015.

  • Why Did Cleveland Indians Sign Mike Napoli Instead of Pedro Alvarez?
    Why did Cleveland Indians sign Mike Napoli instead of Pedro Alvarez? Hey, Hoynsie Paul Hoynes, cleveland.com CLEVELAND, Ohio – Do you have a question that you'd like to have answered in Hey, Hoynsie? Submit it here or Tweet him at @hoynsie. Hey, Hoynsie: Why did the Indians sign Mike Napoli, 34, for one year to play first base when Pedro Alvarez, 27, was available? Did management know Alvarez hit 27 home runs last season? -- Jimmy Garst, Roanoke, Va. Hey, Jimmy: The Indians did show interest in Alvarez, who was non-tendered by the Pirates and became a free agent. I think a couple of things probably came into play: No. 1, Alvarez was more expensive than the $7 million deal the Indians agreed to with Napoli. No. 2, the Indians felt Napoli helped them two ways – he gave their offense needed pop from the right side of the plate and he improved their defense. Napoli – whose deal should soon be made official – allows the Indians to move Carlos Santana to DH while he will get most of the time at first base. There is no doubt about Alvarez's power, but he made 23 errors at first base last season. I think the Indians preferred Napoli, considering the cost, at first and Santana at DH instead of Santana at first and Alvarez at DH. Hey, Hoynsie: The Reds seem interested in moving outfielder Jay Bruce. Is the Tribe done with its outfield or would it be interested in a guy who is as streaky hitter as there is, but definitely has pop? – Carl Neifer, Cincinnati.

CINCINNATI ENQUIRER Intensity is always Tony Cingrani's specialty Cingrani has one speed, and that's going all out By C. Trent Rosecrans GOODYEAR, ARIZ. — Tony Cingrani gets angry every time he gives up a hit. It doesn’t matter if it’s a spring training exhibition game – like the one he will start Saturday against the Colorado Rockies – or against the St. Louis Cardinals. As the Reds’ second-year starter sees it, it’s his job to not give up any hits and if he gives up a hit, he didn’t do his job. That makes him angry – and like a famous fictional character, you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. “That’s how I get myself fired up. I need to throw harder, so I try to get super angry and throw it harder,” Cingrani said. “I’m not turning green – I’m trying to scare somebody and see what happens.” Cingrani’s intensity even turned into a meme among Reds fans, with the “Cingrani Face” becoming synonymous with an intense, scary mug. Cingrani said he saw that, and even chuckles quietly about it.

  • Bullpen Falters After Pitch Count Chases Kluber by Jason
    Bullpen falters after pitch count chases Kluber By Jason Beck and William Kosileski / MLB.com | 12:18 AM ET + 6 COMMENTS CLEVELAND -- Michael Fulmer won't pitch in the Midsummer Classic, but he'll settle for winning a duel opposite fellow American League All- Star Corey Kluber. Fulmer's six-plus quality innings and Justin Wilson's five-out save helped the Tigers close out the first half by avoiding a series sweep to the Indians with a 5-3 win Sunday night at Progressive Field. Cleveland heads into the All-Star break at 47-40, up 2 1/2 games on the Twins in the AL Central. Detroit moved within eight games but still has work to do at 39-48 as general manager Al Avila listens to offers ahead of the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline. Kluber and Fulmer (9-6) both allowed a run on three hits over their first five innings. But while Fulmer did it in just 58 pitches, Kluber threw 101, thanks in part to eight strikeouts. Detroit scored three runs in the sixth off the Tribe bullpen, two on Alex Presley's go-ahead double, to move ahead for good. Fulmer entered the seventh with a 5-1 lead and a pitch count of only 71, but four straight hits, including Jose Ramirez's two-run homer, knocked Fulmer out of the game before an out was recorded. Shane Greene retired three straight to escape the jam, then turned the ball over to Wilson, who stranded the bases loaded in the eighth and worked around a single in the ninth for his 10th save.

  • LINE DRIVES the NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No
    LINE DRIVES THE NATIONAL COLLEGIATE BASEBALL WRITERS NEWSLETTER (Volume 48, No. 3, Apr. 17, 2009) The President’s Message By NCBWA President Joe Dier NCBWA Membership: With the 2008-09 hoops season now in the record books, the collegiate spotlight is focusing more closely on the nation’s baseball diamonds. Though we’re heading into the final month of the season, there are still plenty of twists and turns ahead on the road to Omaha and the 2009 NCAA College World Series. The NCAA will soon be announcing details of next month’s tournament selection announcements naming the regional host sites (May 24) and the 64-team tournament field (May 25). To date, four different teams have claimed the top spot in the NCBWA’s national Division I polls --- Arizona State, Georgia, LSU, and North Carolina. Several other teams have graced the No. 1 position in other national polls. The NCAA’s mid-April RPI listing has Cal State Fullerton leading the 301-team pack, with 19 teams sporting 25-win records through games of April 12. For the record, New Mexico State tops the wins list with a 30-6 mark. As the conference races heat up from coast to coast, the NCBWA will begin the process for naming its All- America teams and the Divk Howser Trophy (see below). We will have a form going out to conference offices and Division I independents in coming days. Last year’s NCBWA-selected team included 56 outstanding baseball athletes, and we want to have the names of all deserving players on the table for consideration for this year’s awards.
